Overview
Values are containers used to store data that can then be used in your flows. This data can consist of numbers, text, dates, instances of a type, or another value.
Values are created and managed on the Values page.
-
The Values page displays all the values currently set up within the tenant. See Values page.
-
Create values to store and work with data in your flows. See Creating a new value.
-
As well as values that you create, there are a set of system values that provide information about a flow, the user who starts the flow, users in the flow, geolocation data of the user, and so on. See System values.
-
Values are one of the different content kind types, such as Boolean, Date/time for example. See Value content kinds.
-
It is important to follow a naming convention for values to make it easy to find specific values in the future, understand what a value contains and to avoid naming collisions. See Value naming conventions.
-
Date and Date/Time values can be formatted in a number of ways. See Formatting date and time values.
-
Values can be used as shared elements and imported into multiple flows within a tenant. See Importing a Type into a Flow.
-
To learn more about using values, see Understanding Values, Types, Objects, and Lists.
